Google has announced several goodies over the last couple weeks…
1. Added chart creation to its Spreadsheets application.
2. Announced a PowerPoint (Presentation) solution as an added bonus to its existing productivity package
3. Launched MyMaps, as an effort to compete in that market with Ask
4. Confirmed its shipping a Google-powered phone (sorry iPhone) as well as a partnership with LG to enhance the mobile experience
5. Acquired DoubleClick, Inc, a global leader in marketing technology and services for $3.1 billion in cash, despite Microsoft’s qualms
6. Announces AdSense for Audio along with a partnership with Clear Channel Radio (yes, the largest radio broadcasting company)
7. Development of new TV Advertising System with DISH Network
8. Launched a new AJAX Feed API – which came at a great time for us (mmm subtle hints)
9. Great keynote interview for Web 2.0 Expo with Eric Schmidt and John Battelle
10. And since I figured I should round the list out to ten, Google’s stock went up 3.21 (.68%) today to reach 476.01 / share.

No idea what they could be up to, but whatever it is, I’m interested. Especially in seeing this phone and how it will compete with the iPhone.
It’s amazing how quickly they move given the size of their company. I’m always impressed!
I agree – they are surprisingly agile for the size. Microsoft should take some management training from them so they can be agile and and produce bloated software (I know, I know – that’s their market).
Funny I posted on StumbleUpon after this and then found out Google had a “roll the dice” option that does the same thing based on your search history.
